Instructions
1. Stand on the middle of a resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart, ensuring the band is secure under both feet.
2. Hold the ends of the band in each hand. Start with your hands at shoulder level, palms facing forward, elbows bent, and aligned under your wrists (the starting position shown in the first image).
3. Press the bands overhead, extending your arms fully without locking your elbows (as shown in the third image).
4. Pause briefly at the top of the movement.
5. Slowly lower the bands back down to the starting position (return to the position shown in the first image).
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure to keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the exercise to prevent arching your lower back. Also, control the movement both while lifting and lowering the bands to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise and reduce the risk of injury.
